Legend of Miragaya…a theatre of pretence
Confederação – coletivo de investigação teatral
Hello. This synopsis talks about a theatre that does not yet exist. It is scheduled to open in March 2026 at Theatro Circo, and so I find myself inevitably presenting something that does not yet exist. Take my watch, for example, the one I carry here in my pocket. I believe it to be a watch with a past. It was made by someone, just as more than three thousand years ago the wheel was invented, followed by the printing press and carts. It is difficult that we can only see the outside when almost everything happens inside. The beginning of a conversation is decisive and can change everything. Just like an egg, if we squeeze it too hard it breaks, and if we don’t hold it properly, it falls!
